- John Ivey (c1720 ? 1792) His father?s will left most of his land to John Ivey. This land was referenced in a 1752 deed as being at the head of the Western Branch in the Great Dismal Swamp.15 John Ivey continued to live in the western precinct of southern Norfolk, buying additional land there from John Taylor in 1753 with brother-in-law Robert Ives a witness.16 He was in the Portsmouth parish tithables in 1750, 1751 (as constable), 1752, 1767 (with John Smith), 1768, 1770, 1771, 1773 (with a second John Ivey), and 1778. He moved to Duplin County, North Carolina sometime after 1786 where he left a will dated and proved in 1792.17 The will named wife Leah, daughter Mary Carr and grandson Demcy Carr (son of Samuel Carr and Mary his wife), grandson Jesse Brown and granddaughter Sarah Harrod (daughter of David Brown and Patience his wife, both deceased), daughter Sarah Parker, and daughter Charity Smith. It also named ?my niece? Elizabeth, the daughter of Lemuel Ivey, deceased, of Norfolk County, Virginia as a legatee. No sons were mentioned in the will. His wife was apparently the same Leah Ivey who witnessed the will of John Ives in 1777 in Norfolk County.
